What is External Style Sheet HTML
In this article, we will see what is external style sheet HTML.
External Style Sheet
- External Style Sheet is basically a CSS file containing list of declaration blocks.
- This (.css) file is linked to various web pages to apply similar styles.
- To link HTML and CSS files together we use link tags.
<link href="filename.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
Note:
<link> tag should be placed within the <head> tag.
Advantage:
We can implement consistency throughout the website.
Limitations:
If we make any changes in the CSS file, then every other linked HTML page will get affected.
Examples:
This file is saved as style.css
p{
color: white;
background-color: blue;
font-size: 20px;
}This file is saved as index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>External style</title>
<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<p>This is paragraph1</p>
<p>This is paragraph2</p>
<p>This is paragraph3</p>
</body>
